For the record, Shame on McDonald's.
This I am not ok with, if this is real.

That's shrinkflation. Companies can't be blamed for this entirely.

As production cost rises due to increase in cost of raw materials, packaging or imported goods, companies are left with only three possible choices

1) to increase the price of the commodities - hardly viable when people are already facing inflation as it will only drive people away.

2) lay off employees - comes at the cost of scaling down operations which once again doesn't serve the purpose

3) shrinkflation - shrink the size of product or reduce quantity while keeping the prices same or only marginally higher. Much better option as it helps companies accommodate rising production costs without asking consumers to pay more.



And, this isn't just McD ...many food chains across USA are already doing it.

Greedflation
Artificial price increases and blaming it on inflation expecting the customer to be OK with it

 

[Reborn]

Things can get so much worse.

If he stays in office then most likely it will get worse...but mostly for US own people and US own legacy.

What we are witnessing is the implosion of USA by the hands of Trump and his bootlickers in the office.

And, only people who can do anything about this mess is citizens of USA....

What about Greenland

 

[Mathias]

our mindset and yours

You're out of touch buddy. You're just wanking Trump and pretending to be the most pure "activist oF ThIs fOruM".

You logical connections are full of holes and based on mistakes not truth, then your arguments lose their value.

You've said yourself many times that you were an internet activist by dropping walls of texts. This is really nothing.

The violent antifas would scare you if you even met them.

The only thing I reckon you to be more knowledgeable about is LGBT and miscellaneous topics. Touch some grass.

It's clearly them. They chose Trump. They're the ones who should fix the issue. Unlike what Logiko wants to push the weebs of this forum to do, I'm not crossing the ocean with a bunch of weapons to prepare the underground revolution or whatever.

Yeah!

No one humiliated America more than Trump

No one made America a laughing stock more than Trump.

Even Putin after decades of his Presidency wasn't hated this much by the World as Trump managed to do in less than 2 years

Today, Portugal leader called Trump - objectively a Russian asset.


Can you imagine this happening to American President?

Trump single handedly managed to get under nerves of whole world....and, he's taking America down with him because World is clearly showing signs of moving away... America's strategic allies are drifting away....and, they won't hesitate.

So, it's American people who will suffer the most....From Big Stupid bill to Tariffs to loss of trust among strategic allies to increasing pace of de-dollarisation....

It's Americans who will pay the price the most


So, it's ultimately their responsibility to deal with Trump before this clown deals permanent damage to whatever USA build in 20th century.

Lol.

Bush destabilised the middle east, the rest was finished by Obama, who among others was involved in the killing of Gheddafi, transforming Libya in a warzone where warbands try to take control.
Trump is just more of the same.

What all of that has to do with what I said?

How about a GWB, that got there for blatant nepotism, stole an election, started a war of colonisation udner false accusation destabilising the miiddle east, and dragged in it the entire europe?
It's one example. Everyone despised the US, specially after teh truth started surfacing.

Obama, spying on European leaders or its own citizens?

The US has been what it is since always, Trump is no more no less the same as always.

You are underestimating the imperialist potential of a fascist Trumpist nation.

We are not safe from the guy starting a war with a previously allied country one day to keep his politics going and to overtake ressource by force.

Remember : Ur fascism is the cult of constant war and action.

Funny how it only needs one time for me to oppose your argumentation for you to adopt the same baseless tactics against me as every one else here. Come on, you are smarter than this. Don't fall into this trap of thinking. You are underestimating me on top of underestimating Trump.

No one is wanking the guy. Recognizing his destruction potential is not a mark of respect, it's result of the knowledge we have of capitalism and white supremacy and it's destructive potential. if I have another position on the subject than you, you should know by now that there is a very political reason to it.

Big bulks means contextual anti-capitalistic informations that you obviously don't have here. If you want short sentences, I will give you that, but you won't understand precisely why I disagree with you. Read again my last post without the snarky biases and understand what I said. It's important.

And indeed I'm not an active antifa nor do I intend to be one. This is not my way of doing politics. I do not know where you are going with your "antifa would scare you in real life". Dude, do not think that antifa beating nazis are the pinnacle of politicization, there are people far more knowledgable, radical and far more politicized than a lot of them.


I'm not scared by a bunch of performative revolutionnaries who will defend daddy Melenchon the first occasion they get.
Relax(not talking here about all antifa, just venting about a big bunch of them)

(And if you find what I just said strange for a radical leftist, it's precisely because I seem to have more informations and a more politicized perspective than just "trump dumb, Trump dangerous, fascism coming, fight fight fight". I rarely say things if I don't have evidences behind it and if do not check multiple times that I could be correct. Do not underestimate me just because I write a lot. What I'm saying comes from people far more knowledgable than you or me)

To be clear, the pitch is fake, but Donnie not being seen in public for days is accurate…there are a ton of indications that he’s either very ill or close to the brink; with more information, I’ll adjust my excitement accordingly

@Logiko Imagine going on a tantrum because you think Trump is smart and dangerous while others think that he is dumb and dangerous.

That's the difference between someone like Katakuri and someone like Kaido. Katakuri underestimated Luffy at the start, not at the end. Kaido underestimated Luffy until the end. Now invert the types of characters and you get our situation.

If you underestimate Trump, if you think he is just following his minion and if you don't see that the guy is smart and following exactly the track of fascistic capitalism... you gonna be surprised everytime he goes beyond project 25 or the advices of his goons

Capitalism is a system of domination and exploitation. This means that we can predict and prepare for specific kind of potentialities beyond just project 25. A war with an old allied country in Europe because of a fascistic push and a switch in the balance of geopolitics would be one of them.

Recognizing correctly a threat is the best way to fight it efficently. There is no tantrum, it's a simple warning. I would ask you to do the same thing for me if I was underestimating some threat.

Trump is the dumbest mother fucker who ever sat his ass in the Oval Office. He is following "track of fascistic capitalism" because he is a dumbass and you're wrong when you say that you have to look up at someone to see how big of a threat he is. I look down on Trump because he is a man-baby wannabe (almost successful) dictator which gives me enough insight of who he is.

You will not change my mind on this. Trump is highly predictable. Thinking that he is a moron will not make me "underestimate" anything.

You are seriously giving too much credit to him.


Have you seen his video in which he was explaining how Tariffs work and believes increased tariffs are paid by exporter country?


Haven't you seen him making fuss when countries exposed his lies and snubbed his claim that he deserves nobel peace?

Haven't you seen him getting played by Putin?

Haven't you seen him making blatant lies and then easily getting caught in the web.

He's a narcissistic man child with highly fragile ego.

He can do whatever he can within USA which he's already doing it ..

But he can't do much outside USA. Tariffs backfiring is case in point.

And, let's assume he does start a war.....then again only Americans can take care of him

Look up ? I'm not looking up at him, The guy is an ignorant of the first degree. He is just smart in his strategy and knows what he is doing. I'm not praising the asshole by saying this lol

But hey, you do what you want. Let's see who will be the most surprised at the end of the day.

I'm separating two type of "smart".

The smart of the machiavelism capitalist and the smart of the knowledge. Yes, this guy is ignorant, but he has a strategy and knows exactly how it will work. He doesn't need to know how tariff work, what he cares about is the effect of the politics and the economic change.

He knows that it will make billionnaires richers, that it will protect him from prison and give him a tool to make the working class poorer which will increase its base. There is no need for knowledge or truth in his perspective.

But again. I warned you. I done my deeds. Now I will watch on the side. You don't have to listen to me. Just remember what I told you the next time you are left in chock by one of his fascistic moves.

If it happens, you will know that it is time to stop underestimating him.

[Logiko]

Because it's important for your politicization.

This nuance is helpfull to understand that Trump is not just a random dumbass who makes reactionnary politics because he listens to his goons but a perfect product of capitalism.

It's helpfull not only to fight trump more seriously, but to fight capitalism more seriously. This means that Trump is not a glitch, not a bug in the system, but a predictible cataclysm that will strike hard or will happen again if we lower our gards and don't think beyond. Trump is just a random fuck who uses the system perfectly, but others will come like him and if we keep depoliticizing the subject by thinking that they are just dumb fucks, we are going to miss our chances to understand the way the system work deeply and how the strategy is shifting toward post-truth to exploit us even more.

Thank you for the enlightenment. Now, I am feeling motivated to cross whole Indo - Pacific Ocean and charge my way into White House to seize taco before it's too late
